While successive lockdowns and the Stamp Duty
holiday disrupted this seasonal order, normal activity is now resuming.
So, what’s the appeal of selling in spring? Here are
four reasons why it makes good sense.
Better weather
Animals aren’t the only ones who like to hibernate
in winter. Freezing temperatures and shorter days mean many buyers delay their
property search until well into the new year. But by March, they’ve thrown off
their slankets and onesies and are eager to line up viewings.
Picture perfect
If you want to wow potential buyers, your marketing
photos must be high quality. Having your home photographed in spring, when
natural light is abundant, will result in snaps that wouldn’t look out of place
in a posh interiors magazine.
Green scene
If your property has a garden, then it makes sense
that buyers see this key feature in spring when it’s bursting with life. A
well-tended garden can add significant value to your property, so make sure
it’s tidy and colourful. And don’t forget to look after the front of your
property, too. A few plants, along with a freshly painted front door, will
create a good first impression.
The time’s right
Many buyers are keen to start the ball rolling in spring
in the hope that they can finalise their move before the August holidays or the
start of the new school year in September. There are also lots of bank holidays
in April and May (don’t forget the extra one this year on 8 May for the
Coronation), which are good for viewings.
